Fat To Skinny

I started mixing 1/2 decaf & 1/2 regular because I dont like the way too much caffine makesd me feel . So that was fine I always used milk and sweet low liquid in my coffee before I sarted FTS . then I went to HWC & my 0 liquid sweetner . but I feel that the heavy cream gives me so much fat in the morning . If you count a cup as 8 oz then I am probably drinking 3-4 cups .
I know we are not suppose to worry about fat but like the livin la vida low carb guy he just eats so much fat that it is gross to me .(he is also gaing his weight back to).
So my question is could it be slowing my weight loss (http://www.fattoskinny.com/) down ?
How many cups of coffee do you drink aday ?
How much HWC do you in your coffee a day ? I just think that I am going overboard maybe not that is why I am asking ;D
-
Each 80z cup of coffee has one carb.
-
I thought doug said it has like .5-6 Thats what i been counting I was talking about the fat and calories from lots of cream i use
-
Beebs is correct it is one carb per 8 oz. The heavy whipping cream is not a issue. ;)

Hi Jo, 1 carb per cup is the correct answer. Umpa's solution for me not getting too heavy with the cream is to use a teaspoon to measure it into the cup. If you want to see the difference pour a "splash" into a cup by itself and measure how much your average "splash" is. I find one teaspoon is plenty of cream for my coffee and my mug is 16 ounces (2 cups).
Jimmy's gettin fat again??

ok here we go:( every place i check says black coffee has ZERO carbs,Doug has stated that he counts his as 1 carb per cup because he uses FLAVORED coffee beans..... Jo i drink no less than 4-5 cups per day...more on weekends:) and use heavy whipping cream and torani sugar free syrups each and every time:) and it has not had any ill affects on my progress or maintenance,just google carbs in coffee...here is an example http://www.coffeedetective.com/carbohydrates-in-coffee.html (http://www.coffeedetective.com/carbohydrates-in-coffee.html)
unless you're putting a pint of heavy cream in each cup of java..... i wouldnt worry about it:)
tell fatty to step away from the carb buffet:(

I'm drinking 60 oz a day on average, 3 20 oz mostly decaf, I don't use any sweeteners but I do use cream, I have been doing this for many years, being on the road all day I need something to sip on, if I didn't have the coffee I think it would be something much worse in its place, I'm still at Dunkin Dounuts every day, but just for the coffee.
Ive had to adjust my daily intake of edible carbs to count for my coffee lust, which is consuming 7.5 of my daily intake.
-
got it thanks guys I do love my coffee Yes I read that he started a exercise program too lose I think he is back up to like 287 something like that . He eats 30-45 carbs a day for one thing and all that fat too much fat I think .On his menu blog he is staying under 1800 calories now but he was eating like 2500-2800- calories and 60- 70% was fat
-
I put about a tablespoon of cream in my 16 oz mug . I guess I would just have to add it into my carbs also like david said
-
I would use heavy cream as it is carb free.
-
I do but if you lose alot it has a lot of fat and calories . I am going to just sloow down a little on the creme
-
;D i may try mixing decaf with ordinary coffee..but tomorrow... as caffeine after six at night is not good for me...but that maybe because i'm not half and halfing it eh... ;D..x
-
that is what I do bev I buy a can of ecaf & a can of regular mix them in my canstier so i want get much caffenine . I dont drink coffee in the evenings . When it gets cold I may drink a cup in the evenings but it has to be decaf I dont drink any caffenine after 8 in the morning .
-
Coffee isn't the issue Jo, just stay the course. :)
-

Hello
So can to much caffeine interfere with weight loss (http://www.fattoskinny.com/)?
How many cups a day is to much? I normally try to keep my coffee intake to two cups a day..
This week has gone up three to four ...
-
Plain black coffee with sugarfree sweetner with half and half or whipping cream is no problem.Some of these coffee shops serve coffees that are loaded with sugar and carbs. ;)
-
I make my pot half decaf & half regular . Too much caf . Makes me crazy & I dont need any help with that
-
Well i am not a doctor but I play one on TV :D :D :D i was told the same thing Marty by my doctor. ;) She had no problem with my coffee intake.I drink coffee in the morning 2 large cups and then about 3 I have another large cup or cuban espresso. ;)

Jo -- I drink 2-3 cups per day. I try to use the smaller mugs to keep them as close to 8oz as possible. I was using heavy cream, but it was a problem for me, so I've stopped. The cream in the coffee was fine, although it did bump up calories/fat content. It wasn't that, but that I was eating too much of it for other things. So, I just stopped buying the darn stuff for now. Instead, I'm using International Delights SF creamer. It's 1 carb per tablespoon. I've started using one teaspoon per cup and adding a little sweetner. It seems to be okay. Coffeemate SF is 2 carbs per serving.
HWC is fine -- unless you're like me and can't control yourself. I have issues. ::)
-
Well Rena I have issues also ,(all of us do some just dont like to admit it LOL) just not with creamer . I have finally broke my issue with the scale !!!!! I tried to do without coffee Umpa told me not too LOL . But I love my coffee I have 3-4 cups in the morning and that is all . . I use the moo moos I dont like the taste of the heavy cream I like half/half .
I am not sure that the moo moos are really 0 carb though they have 10 calories ,0 fat ,0 carb& 0 protein so that 10 calories is coming from somewhere . I count each one as 1/2 carb.
-
Enjoy your coffee Joey! :)
Just be careful of what you add to it.
But remember, moderation is always key.
It is possible to have too much of a good thing. ;)

A world without coffee would be a sad place. :'( :'( :'( :'(

A world without coffee would be a sad place
I so agree with that!! I think I'm starting to have a issue with it now myself...LOL My loving hubs bought me one of those fancy Keurigs and I have discovered a whole new world I never knew existed... ;D ;D My new obsession is cinnamon roll coffee....yummm!! I put the heavy whipping cream with a little cinnamon vanilla sweetener (sugar free of course ;)) It's like having desert in a cup!! They have so many flavors to choose from it's crazy! You have to be careful though some have carbs in them :-\ I now have to make myself use the regular coffee on a daily basis (I can drink it as is) and the other for just a treat...LOL
-
Thanks Everyone for your input...
-
You are welcome Joey ;)
TooSweet i love my Keurig! I use that for my first cup why my percolator is cooking.I also use it when i am cooking for hot water :)

This great site shows coffee with no carbs-regular brewed from grounds with tap water. Is it wrong? Tony referred this site to me and it seems pretty official!! ??? ???
